Subject: [3.2-rc4 x86] (Compiler bug?) Uninitialized variable in ioapic_read_entry()

Regarding commit e57253a8 "x86, ioapic: Restore the mask bit correctly in
eoi_ioapic_irq()", I got below warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c: In function 'ioapic_read_entry':
  arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:385: warning: 'eu' is used uninitialized in this function

 369: union entry_union {
 370:   struct { u32 w1, w2; };
 371:   struct IO_APIC_route_entry entry;
 372: };
 373:
 374: static struct IO_APIC_route_entry __ioapic_read_entry(int apic, int pin)
 375: {
 376:   union entry_union eu;
 377:
 378:   eu.w1 = io_apic_read(apic, 0x10 + 2 * pin);
 379:   eu.w2 = io_apic_read(apic, 0x11 + 2 * pin);
 380:   return eu.entry;
 381: }
 382:
 383: static struct IO_APIC_route_entry ioapic_read_entry(int apic, int pin)
 384: {
 385:   union entry_union eu;
 386:   unsigned long flags;
 387:   raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&ioapic_lock, flags);
 388:   eu.entry = __ioapic_read_entry(apic, pin);
 389:   raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ioapic_lock, flags);
 390:   return eu.entry;
 391: }

I compared using several gcc versions.
It turned out that only gcc 4.4 shows this warning.

It turned out that gcc 4.3 and 4.5 do not inline __ioapic_read_entry() whereas
gcc 4.4 inlines __ioapic_read_entry().

Also, it turned out that this warning does not apprar when compiled with
CONFIG_M586MMX and earlier. This warning appears when compiled with CONFIG_M686
and later.

I don't know whether this warning is a false positive or not.
Can somebody who understand assembly code check this?

Regards.
